Food Scene
Great takeaway fish & chips - especially if you are planning on sitting on the foreshore to eat them.
In summer can be 45minute wait so plan ahead!
We like to go and order, then go for a swim, then pick them up and eat on the grass.

Obviously the Island's (and Victoria's) number one tourist attraction - don't miss it.
Book ahead during the summer peak season though!
Rug up warm if it isn't JAN or FEB.
